How thick is stucco on a house?

That’s a good question to ask! In the province of Alberta, a typical home or condo stucco job will involve applying up to three layers over a wood stud, then a metal lathe system with plywood on top, but that depends on the construct of the home. According to City of Calgary (1997) building code, here are the details of the thickness of stucco:

9.28.6. Stucco Application

9.28.6.2. Number of Coast and Total Thickness

1) Stucco shall be applied with at least 2 base coats and one finish coat, providing a total thickness of less than 15mm, measured from the face of the lath or the face of the masonry where no lath is used.

9.28.6.5. Finish Coat

2) The thickness of the finish coat shall be not less than 3mm.

9.28.6.6. Alternative Method

1) Stucco shall be applied in at least 2 coats to provide a total thickness of not less than 19mm measured from the face of the sheathing paper to the face of the second coat where lath is used.

2) The second coat shall be continuous across the entire surface of the coat and be without gaps of voids.

Do I have to care for my roof after it is replaced and how do I do that?

If a great storm has ripped through the Calgary area, and your roof is affected, first you need to call your insurance agent to sent out an expert to assess the damage. Then they will decide on your potential and level of coverage based on your policy.

Please remember that if you have sustained damage, and you are eligible for full replacement, it is legal in Alberta to choose any service provider you trust instead of the pre-determined and potentially unknown third-party vendor through your insurance company.

If A two Z Windows & Doors Calgary has already installed the roof, you can contact us to see if we can replace it according to your claim. If damage was sustained due to labour and installation quality, we cover that too. For particular details, contact us at 403-257-4220.
